Organic Chemistry Community current activities

The Organic Chemistry Community Council supports a number of regional meetings in the UK and Ireland, in order to promote local networking and ensure that UK and Ireland members of the Organic Chemistry Community are able to access a meeting in their local region.

Covering the UK and Ireland, the meetings typically take place between December and May every year and are organised by a host institution within the region.

Speakers include 欧美AV Prize winners, and researchers from industry and academia. Importantly, the meetings give the opportunity for early career chemists to present their research. This important activity is an excellent way for researchers within a region to meet and network, and to hear progress in organic chemistry research.

To find out about forthcoming regional meetings, please visit the Organic Chemistry Community events page.

Organic Chemistry Poster Symposium

The annual poster symposium is the Organic Chemistry Community’s flagship event for early career researchers. Dedicated to posters, the competitive symposium provides a fantastic opportunity for final year organic chemistry PhD students based in the UK and Ireland, working on any area related to organic chemistry – in its broadest interpretation. to showcase their research and network with peers and representatives from industry and academia.

The symposia is held every December and showcases the top 40 submitted abstracts (as selected by the Scientific Organising Committee) across all areas of organic chemistry, across all applications including, but not limited to:
